[ What follows is a series of bursts of lightning that white out the journal camera for a few moments, leaving the audio to record the rest: glass breaking with the force of a window being thrown open as ororo takes the fight outside, a fierce rush of wind lifting her up to the quickly darkening sky above, thunder booming in the distance as she rises higher and higher, disappearing into the clouds, vaguely hoping to outrun the droids that have finally come for her... but as suddenly as the weather worsens, it begins to fade away. ]

[ When the skies finally clear, she's gone. ]

[Action] (before the kidnapping)

[The droids act quickly once they get ahold of her, pinning her arms to her sides. For a moment the sky seemed to open up and lightning arcs crazily through the air, no longer aiming for anything in particular, merely responding to a weather witch's emotions. And there were few things that scared Ororo more than being bound and imprisoned.]

[It doesn't take long, though. Once she's suitably detained, the droids simply Shift away - leaving the weather to sort itself out without its mistress to set things to rights. Soon, whatever's left of the drones follow suit.]

[She's gone. The droids are already starting to leave him alone. He tries to fight them off, but one by one they're gone. And soon he's left on the ground, covered in his own blood as the clouds shatter above him.

There's no chasing her. She's just gone. And for a long time, he just stays there.]
